In short: The lakes are beautiful.In full: Pleasantly surprised by the beautiful lakeside parts of the run, although there were some less inspiring parts most of it was green and the stadium finish was electric.I managed a good time despite the heat and a garmin malfunction. Couldn't face the Mars Bar at the end but the banana was welcome! Would definitely come back.Date of review: May 7, 2013

In short: New pb! Over the moon!In full: Having done this race before I was looking forward to it but not expecting a pb as I knew the course was challenging. Never say never! Fantastic race, which I love and a pb to boot. Try keeping me away next year!Date of review: November 19, 2012

In short: Loved it!In full: The views lived up to the descriptions on the event website, a gloriously scenic run. Friendly team (thanks for the cakes!) and friendly runners. Despite those challenging hills everyone seemed in such a good mood, well we wouldn't want it too easy would we? Fantastic morning out.Date of review: September 25, 2012

In short: Fantastic!In full: I did this race last year and loved it but this year was even better! The glorious weather helped but being out in the wonderful British countryside running my best time ever in a half marathon made my day! As always great organisation and a very friendly atmosphere from the Dirt team. Can't wait for next year.Date of review: December 1, 2011
